I agree that there should be rare single node spawns of the rare spices say like cinnamon. That can be just about anywhere within reason. And for the fun of it put a whole pack of nodes on Isle of Lost Machines, or Aiden, someplace we know bipeds cannot go ( on purpose). To exemplify the serenity of the place that ancient dragons will be calling home =) [just a little rp idea tossed into the post for flavor]Originally Posted by Senkeleron Fell
Some good suggestions. If we could "cook" say a wolf, and then eat it, that could be a huge RP element, more flavor, to the game. The tier of the wolf could determine the tier of the food. This could also go A LONG WAYS towards relieving some of the tension between Dragons and Gnomes, which currently have a rather strained relationship, thanks to Lunus who like to scare them with stories of gnomesnacks (which are greatly exxagerated)Originally Posted by Cobal
The stacking issue is an excellent point that I hope is addressed soon. Food effects, especially ones using the purchased ingredients (relatively expensive ones) should COMPLETELY stack with all buffs, potions, and abilities. Anything else simply makes them worthless for anything other than a novelty item.Originally Posted by Kumu Honua
Overall I think the direction of the changes is in the right direction. the 75% penalty sounds pretty harsh.. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen this change in action. If the 5% steps per DP are maintained, then it's probably safe to say that this many DP's can be avoided at one time. Even the 20% penalty I find annoying and restrict what mobs I fight while under its influence.
I also like the idea that Dragons get a tavern structure equivalent for lairs at some point. A special room where food has the double effectiveness buff. Maybe call it a "Meditation Chamber" or something. Make it nice and pretty to look at too. :)
One final suggestion: Don't take out Amb7, or increase the DP penalty capandreduction timer,until the final phase of foods is rolled out. Since there is a likely possibility that months, or even a year could pass before the Confectioner revamp is complete. I would make those changes a part of the final rollout.
